Hi, I see you're experiencing slower speeds than expected. It sounds like your Ethernet connection might be the issue, especially since you mentioned getting 150 Mbps on download. Your current speeds are around 30-40 Mbps, which is typical for a standard cable connection. Check if the cable itself is damaged or if there are any interference problems. Also, ensure your router is properly connected and configured. If the problem persists, consider testing with another device or checking your network settings. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Are you checking performance over Ethernet using tools like Speedtest, or are you relying on downloads through Steam or another service? When navigating to your adapter settings and status (Start > Network and Sharing Center > Click on the Ethernet connection > Check "Speed:"), does it display 100Mbps or 1.0Gbps?

I mean it clearly. Could you explain what you're referring to?

Your Wi-Fi connection is quicker than your Ethernet link reaching your computer.

Check the specifications for ethernet speeds—options are typically 100Mbps or 1.0Gbps.

It seems the query is unclear about what you're comparing. Are you asking if WiFi generally performs better on speed tests compared to Ethernet, or are you wondering why a router's advertised speed might not match real-world results? Clarify your question for a precise answer.

I didn't grasp your question, but my actual performance is better on Wi-Fi during testing.

The router appears to be of poor quality with very few LAN ports. Identifying its exact brand and model would help determine its specifications and potential issues.
